As a homeowner I've said it before and I'll say it again.

you might want to move your grill too Brahma Brahma , i mean i don't know what wood is that , but i don't like smoked fence, is that from flare ups? i have my smoker about 1ft from my deck guard rails and i don't have soot or smoke dmg (the rails are just old and nasty)

that fence repair is probably gonna cost you

Anyone have advice on buying flashlights?

I got an extremely powerful floodlight back in 2020 that just died off after several years (with minimal use, no less). I need to replace the big floodlight I had, and I'd like to also get two smaller flashlights that are powerful enough to cut through darkness. The one I had could light up the far side of a river (about 200 ft) with ease and I want something at least that powerful again. I'll take any suggestions on a brand to go with, or even just what amount of lumens to shoot for.
Project farm for all these kinds of questions.

Those claimed vs. measured lumen ratings on the cheap lights are pretty hilarious.

Does anyone really want all those modes? I would actually pay more for a flashlight that didn't have epilepsy mode but it seems like they all have it. Who actually wants their flashlight to do that? The SOS mode is even more stupid. Even if you did happen to find a rescuer that knows Morse code, do you really think they're going to change whether they're going to investigate because of the pattern the light is blinking? It wouldn't matter if they didn't require you to cycle through them or have them come on by accident all the time but they do. They're making their product worse, not better with this nonsense.
